Oh I Like That :) Thank You for sharing the pattern.
ReplyDeleteYou know what? I make this one, same directions all the time, but make 2 of them & leave an open end to slip hand in or use as a hot pad also, by crocheting the 2 together. I made a varigated red, white & blue one for 4th of July as a gift for Bingo at our family picnic this year, one side varigated & the other side a plain blue or red or white. Have the hook on it too to hang up. Just another idea for you. Joyce
ReplyDeleteI also make something like these but before finishing the last end put Thinsul-brite in the middle to help the heat resistance and fingers never get burned. I also sew an X so when it is washed the Thinsul-brite does not shift.
ReplyDeleteI have been making these for years and it helps use up scrap yarn. I cut a square of Thinsul-Brite (or any thin insulation that can be washed) and place it inside the pot holder before finishing the last side. I then sew an X from corner to corner so when washed the thinsul-Brite does not shift. They was very well and makes a nice present. My daughter in law has requested them for herself and for friends. I have also made them extra long and put a "pocket" for the hand, like the post above.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I purchase Thinsul-Brite or some other kind of thin insulation to put inside this potholder if I choose to make two and sew them together? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi ladies, I'm so glad to hear you've found another use for this dishcloth! :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter buys the Thinsul-brite, or something similar to it, at Joann fabrics.
Thank-you so much for this pattern. It's perfect. :-)
ReplyDeleteI just found out you don't use acrylic in making potholders.. If you do use acrylic what is the pros and cons . I made potholders for every family for .Christmas,now I am afraid to send them. What are the dangers of this
ReplyDeleteHi Joy, Cotton yarn is a good insulator against heat and it won't melt. The acrylic yarn does not protect your hands against the heat and will actually melt if the pan (or whatever you are using it with) is hot enough. You can still gift your potholders, but let the recipient know that they are not heat safe and should be used for decorative purposes only.
DeleteApril you are so correct on using cotton yarn. A friend gave me potholders made out of the acrylic yarn and I was so mad when I burned my hand. I tried to nicely tell her since she makes them all the time. Apparently she never used them for herself.
